If they have proren so treacberoua to Democracy, x being secedera from this faith, and . then have failed to remain an indi yidaal party, but instead have sought a political alliance for office and spoils, what does it amount to, from a Democratic standpoint, if thsy sell themeelves and their rotes to an opposite party candidate ? ,' A W frvm-f ' X p m tt v rA "rwiiipv m.ri4i "S" imi i ncrJ1 to aek political alliance with Toters who are secretly detested, but to endearor to prove these same Toters arrant rascals as soon as the j. election is orer seems to be hypoc risj of a tery high degree. Seriously, what busineea is it of theaev-JJecQOcratic papers whether the Populists are all bought; wheth er. Senator Pritchard receives the nomination through this or any other means; in fact is it not a spe dee ef .exoeasiTe pilitical gall, any way, for Democrats to be dictating about this Senatorial nomination? This besmirching of Populists may be an attempt to beat Senator Pritchard, but what has the Demo cratic party to gain by making far ther enemies of the Populists? Is today the last of days, and does the Democratic party of North Carolina erer expect to be in the fight again? It wonld not eeem that the party ever expeeted to rise, if the conduct of some of Its boasted papers are t betaken as an indication of its fu tort coming to the front. . These attacks seem especially di rected against the. Populists of this section of the State, and yet from a personal knowledge and acquaintance of someo f these men, the Jocks a i. cannot see why they should be put dowa as so much political riff-raff to be secured by a little, or much money. The Populists are our neighbors. Vany of them are our kinfolks. Oranting their political apostaoy, is it just at this time to impugn dis honesty to what they might do at some future time? The Joc&xal thinks not, yet it may be a test of simon pure Dem ocracy to thesq aewspapers, when a campaign is over and the party is defeated, to cry out against . those, who a few weeks before were 'eagerly sought out and asked to be made joint political partners and sharers in" the spoils accruing from . each a partnership. It cannot be denied that, tbeee newspapers hare assumed such to be their opinion and are acting upon it. which sxxalx. rr be. The Democrats in tho next State Assembly will be a minority party. Will they be an independent or de pendent minority, is an important question not only to them but to the Democrat ef the entire State. These Democrats must face mat ters in the next Assembly that will try 'their democracy as it has not been -tried in many years, for al though a minority party these Dem ocrtU wiH possess yotes which will Lave aa influence ia deciding many question that will have important boiiriiS on tin- future of h I ;. -cratic jnirtv.

TBEISXaSSAQE AND CUBA. However much sympathy tlitre may be in this country for the suc cess of the lusurgent cmise in Cuba, and a possible demand for some tangible expression on the part of the United States which shall recog nize the insurgents, there cannot but be a feeling that President Cleveland has made wise and sensi ble recommendations or. this very hard question. The practical and rational solu tion of the Cuban ipitsfiou wut.l.i seem to be the granting of auioi my to three peop'e. The. refusal of Spain to grant any terms to iha insurgents until iL -y lay dowa their arms is not g"icg to result iu anything, for smch u i n upon the pi rt of the insurgents would place them at the mercv of the Spaniards, and the result wonld not be hard to predict. On this line President (. levelaa.i offers tho following important prop osition. "It was intimated by this 'iowrn mint to the Government of Spain j some months aro that, if a satisfao-j tory measure of home rale were ten j dcred the Cuban insuigent.-. and would be accepted by them up c; a uuarantee of us execution, trie CTnited States would endeavor to' find a way not objectionable to i Spain of furnishing such guarantee. ' w hiie no detinue response to this, intimation nas yet been itcciv u from the Spanish' Government, it is; believed to be not altogether unw d-j come, while, as already suggete:,j no reason is nerceived whv it should : not be approved by the ins ;r gents. Such an offer of guarantee on tin part of this country ought to bi an assurance to the Insurgent cause of the sympathy we feel for them, and also to Spain that this e cnitiy ueither desires war nor yet is willing to overlook the rights of a people struggling against tyrannical rule. There can be no question of this Country's position in regard to Cuba and her struggling patriots, and that there will be a limit on our part, a time when forbearance shall cease . The safe solution of tho whole matter is unquestionably the giving of home rule to the Cubans, sur rounded by such safeguards a3 mav bedetermined upon. Another solution would be the j 1'V the 1'tiited it may result, dted States and t;tte- but !i-i-'Vii war l..'t ween r'i-' ' pa i n : ; i llletit i'i i m .'----ai v for the settle ('uiMii pietion.

Washington Tim est. TS SUICIDE CONTAGIOUS. An interesting problem is present ed to the consideration of the psy chologist in the frequency of su icid e ad over the country. Not a day has passed in that period, but the newj pc.pcrs have h::.d to record one or more suicides. All known exp di ents to end life's misery have been resorted to, and one individual even went so far as to write down the sensations produced by the poison he had taken until his hand refused further to perform its wonted func tions, and the ond had come. In several, if not in the majority, of the cases, no adequate motive ap peared for the act of self-destruction. It is not at all probable that under normal mental conditions and without anv external influences at least one half of the suicides would still be in the lies h. The question arises: Is suicide contagious ? Is it possible that per sons, especially those of a morbid turn of mind, may be excited by the reports of such occurrences to make awav with themselves, iu order to escape further annoyance from real or imaginary troubles ? It is pietty generally admitted that a person who is felo de-se is in n pertly de ranged mental state. Upon this theory, the courts have decided that life insurance companies must p ly the beneficiaries of the policies 'iSiied by them, it the insured per son commits suicide, and even though tiie policy may have co i rained a waiver, on hi rights and claims, or t benefit the policy issu I . K-king at the i n light, the conclusion warranted that the part, of b i for whose ;ion in this seems to be pu blication. with all deta of one or more such ooou rrencw-s may exercise a depress ing indu e ce upon ahead" des) -indent or morose persons and cause them to seek surcease from real or imaginary troubles by the same means which they find others have effectually employed. In this view 1 f the case a law like that obtaining in Xew York, which makes a per . on criminally responsible for an at tempt to commit suicide, appears absurd, for no man should be pun ished for an act done under tem porary aberration of mind. It is a subject replete with interest and well worth the investigation of alienists and psychologists. Wash. Times. How's This ?

These verses were written i tor Woman s Wort ana wave ae- i - j ptrttnei.t of the Scimitar, in which j'hey ap-peared.

Nothing could have been more beau tiful and touching than the man ner in which she took Mrs. Ken nedy's hand and thanked her after rue versos had been said. The little poem, which has won its way into so many, hearts, is here reproduced for the benefit of the readerB of the Scimitar: WITH LITTLE BOY Bit E.

Tliree mourners they were for Little Boy Blue Three ere the cold winds had begun; Xow two are left watching the soldier and dag; But for him the vigil is done.

Popular Science Monthly : The clam's bo.ly is completely enshrouded in the mantle, except for two open ings', through one of which the foot can be puda-d out. The other isior the siphon, or what is commonly known as the "neca" of the clam. In some respects the clam may be better off than we are, for he has a 1 ttle brain in his foot, and also a gland for secreting strong fibres. With t his i;o sj-ins a b-jssus by which he can attach himself to whatever he dikes. He does not even have to MOjiri- i fur i.ij f..od l,.ir. wila for it-. t0 r-nmn to hi m. Tf niitba hnrrnw j U1 tie ml-,, or fi!ri(l, attaching hirn- ! a...f to the bottom of the byssus. TR,n he thrusis h:s si dion up through Cue mud ai.d wafer until it reaches the surface. The siphon is ma'le up of two tubes, the water ;h one and out ' flowing in throm through t lie other. When the inflowing current, laden with minute plants and animals, reaches the aid chamber, some of these are sifted out and retained for food, while the water and waste matter flows out through the other tube. The clam's eggs are carried by the mother on her gills. When there are fish in the water with them the mother clams discharge the eggs which soon hatch: cut it there are no fish they carry the eggs until they decay. The reason of this strange behavior is this: When the eggs are set free in the water they soon hatch, and the little ones swim about until they find some fish to which to attach themselves. They live for a time on the mucus of the fish, and then drop off, sink to the bottom, and form burrows for them selves. This curious semi-parasitic life is no doubt a reversion of the habit of some ancient ancestor.

Some recent tests of the value of wired glass are given in a recent re port of the Boston Mutual Fire In surance Company, and are believed to indicate the important relation of that material to fire-proof work. An experimental test was made with an ordinary brick structure of nine feet high, provided on one side with a wire-glass roof, and a roughened glass on the other, side windows and a glass door with wooden frames lined with tin; and this building was filled with rosen-saturated wood to a height of six feet. On firing, the ordinary glass cracked and fell at once, while the wire glass re mained, notwithstanding the heat was so great as to crack the walls of the building. The theory of such glass standing heat in this manner is said to be that the glass, under the first influence of the heat,cracks but is held in place by the wires, but, as the heat increases, the glass becomes fused again at a lower tem perature than the wire, and, being a poor conductor of heat, such glass and the wire protect each other. St. Louis Globe-Democrat, East Siberia's Wealth. A correspondent writing v to The North China Herald from Kras noyarsk, describing the territory through which the great Siberian Railway wiil pass, says: "The wide and rich provinco ex tends from tho Chinese frontier to the Kara Sea ami North Ocean tne southern part oi tne province is populated, besides Russiau people by the Tartarian-; the Northern by the Tunguses, The soil in the South ern and middle parts is fertile and the farmers are rich. Here are also very rich gold mines. Krasnoyarsk was formerly no! large, but grew up during the building of the railway. The trade increased also, and there are here some rich Russian mer chants. Besides the Government's branch bank, there is a branch of the Siberian Trade Bank, which was opened this year. There is also an agent of the English Naval Ex pedition of Mr Poppam, who sells iron work. This company receives goods directly from England by sea through the river Yenisei, and is allowed by the Russian Government to transport the iron work from England and to sell free of duty. "Japanese and Chinese goods, silks, &c, are very seldem brought from the far East here; a dealer in these goods conld make a goed, fair business. Not far from Krasnoyarsk is a sugar refinery, the on'y one in Sibera. When the Siberian Rail way is completely built, Krasnoyarsk will be a great ceutre for Siberian trade.
